What is a Junked Vehicle?
When a vehicle is classified as “junked” in California, it means it’s been declared inoperable and removed from the DMV’s active records — often due to age, damage, or a salvage designation. Junked vehicles can’t be legally driven, sold, or registered unless ownership is re-established and the vehicle passes a series of inspections.
